Kerouac y La Generacion Beat

Sinopsis del Libro

This book is an exploration of Jack Kerouac, the writer that a whole generation turned into their reluctant spokesman. Duval gives a voice to key figures from that movement: the poet Allen Ginsberg; Carolyn Cassadys wife and Kerouacs lover; Joyce Johnson, who was in a relationship with the writerwhen he became famous; Timothy Leary, the psychedelic guru of the sixties; Anne Waldman, beat poet; and Ken Kesey, a central figure of American counter-culture. Through their stories, we investigate the mysterious figure of Jack Kerouac, the man who wrote the most important novel of his generation to later fall into the depths of alcoholism and despair. The result is an authentic fresco of the beat generation.

En el tren

La autora de estas páginas, Concha Pelayo, nos lleva, a través de un viaje en el tiempo, por diferentes situaciones que ha vivido en un periodo de su vida cuando el pasado va pesando y en el futuro apenas se piensa. Todo es observado con minuciosidad, pero con distancia. Las sensaciones y las experiencias se mezclan en un vaivén de idas y venidas. Se suceden los viajes a Madrid en tren; se regodea en los paseos por la gran ciudad, en las visitas a museos, en las gentes con las que se topa. Puede reparar en una colección de libros de una edición alemana, arrojados junto a un contenedor, o ...
